  • Women Architects
    E-Newsletter | May 2012 Women Architects What do the Hearst Castle in California and many of the buildings in Grand Canyon National Park have in common? They were designed by women architects! In this month's newsletter, we feature two early women architects - Julia Morgan and Mary Colter. California's first licensed woman architect, Julia Morgan, studied architecture in Paris. After failing the entrance examination to the École des Beaux-Arts twice, she learned that the faculty had failed her deliberately to discourage her admission. Undeterred, she gained admission and received her certificate in architecture in 1902. By 1904, she had opened her own architecture practice in San Francisco. After receiving acclaim when one of her buildings on the Mills College campus withstood the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, she was commissioned to rebuild the damaged Fairmont Hotel. With this project Morgan's reputation as well as her architecture practice was assured. Julia Morgan Morgan designed her first building for the YWCA in Oakland in 1912. She then began work on the YWCA's seaside retreat Asilomar, near Monterey, which has hosted thousands of visitors since its founding in 1913. Today Asilomar is a state historical park. Morgan's work on the Hearst Castle, which is also now a state historical monument, cemented her reputation. The Castle, located at San Simeon, has attracted more than 35 million visitors since it opened to the public in 1958. Architect Mary Colter was asked by railroad magnate Fred Harvey to design hotels and restaurants along the Santa Fe Railway route, with the objective of bringing tourists to the southwestern United States.

This thesis examines the development from the novel perspective of medievalism—the study of the Middle Ages as an imaginative construct in western society after their actual demise. It offers a selection of the best known neo-Gothic artifacts in the city, describes the technological innovations which distinguish them from the medievalist architecture of the nineteenth century, and shows the motivation for their creation. The significance of the California Arts and Crafts movement is explained, and profiles are offered of the two leading medievalist architects of the period, Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan.

    ForumJournal VOL. 32, NO. 2 “Every Story Told”: Centering Women’s History THIS ISSUE IS DEDICATED TO BOBBIE GREENE MCCARTHY AND KAREN NICKLESS. Gender, Race, and Class in the Work of Julia Morgan KAREN MCNEILL n June 22, 1972, architect Julia Morgan’s Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument, also known as Hearst OCastle, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Since then, 19 more places—including approximately 26 buildings—that Morgan designed or was otherwise closely associated with have been listed individually or as part of historic districts. (Hearst Castle and Asilomar Conference Grounds are also National Historic Landmarks.) No fewer than 15 of those National Register properties are associated with organizations of, by, and for women, underscoring how closely the architect’s career was intertwined with the pre–World War II California women’s movement. This might suggest that Morgan’s legacy is well understood and that the spaces of women’s activism of Progressive Era California have been well documented and preserved in the landscape. But a closer look reveals significant gaps and weaknesses in our understanding of Julia Morgan’s career and its significance. It also exposes, more generally, the challenges of recognizing and preserving the history of gender and women—and other underrepresented groups—in the built environment, as well as the opportunities to improve. A VARIED BODY OF WORK No single building on the National Register could capture the breadth of Julia Morgan’s architectural significance, but when her contributions are considered collectively, certain themes emerge. Several properties—including St. John’s Presbyterian Church, Asilomar, the Sausalito Woman’s Club, and Girton Hall (now Julia Morgan Hall)—are excellent examples of the Bay Tradition style, an expression of the Arts and Crafts movement in the San Francisco/ Berkeley region.

  • Julia Morgan Wyntoon and Other Hearst Projects 1933–1946
    Julia Morgan Wyntoon and Other Hearst Projects 1933–1946 by Taylor Coffman AN OLD PHOTOGRAPH owned by Lynn Forney McMurray, a god- daughter of Julia Morgan, shows a large group of people at Wyntoon. Miss Morgan may be identifiable among them. Lynn thinks the photo dates from 1902 or ’03. It stems from the work being done on that northern California project by Bernard Maybeck for Phoebe Apperson Hearst. Julia Morgan, Lynn reasons, had recently returned from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and was taking part in Wyntoon’s devel- opment under Maybeck. I’ve never confirmed Lynn’s theory, but it doesn’t seem far- fetched. Everyone knows that Maybeck had been a big influence on Morgan already and that they would keep interacting over the years ahead. However, no buildings are visible in the photo. The period de- picted, in any event, is that of the first-generation Wyntoon Castle—the medieval, Germanic pile that burned down in 1930. By then, at the outset of the thirties decade, Julia Morgan and W. R. Hearst had done some minor work at Wyntoon. In 1928, for in- stance, they built a swimming pool and two tennis courts. Hearst’s mother hadn’t left that property to him at her death in 1919. Instead, he had to persuade his cousin Anne Apperson Flint (a favorite of Phoebe Hearst’s) to sell him Wyntoon Castle in 1925—a point that’s neither here nor there where Morgan’s concerned. It merely means that the established Hearst-Morgan partnership, active at San Simeon since 1919, was at no liberty to do serious work at Wyntoon until the late 1920s.

    Jessica Blanche Peixotto Revised May 29, 2020 1 Jessica Blanche Peixotto and the Founding of Berkeley Social Welfare Jeffrey L. Edleson, Ph.D.i University of California, Berkeley Abstract Jessica Blanche Peixotto was the first woman to become a full professor at the University of California in 1918 and yet her role in establishing social welfare studies at Berkeley is mostly untold. A social economist and foremost a scientist, she led efforts to infuse evidence-informed practice in professional social work education in the early 1900s, laying a foundation at Berkeley that is still felt today. Of her many efforts, she established a certificate in social welfare at Berkeley in 1917, the first such training on the West Coast. This article describes her personal and professional life and seeks to establish the importance of her role in establishing social work education at Berkeley and in furthering an evidence-informed approach to our professional work. Social work education began at the effective (Fischer, 1973). It has been the University of California in 1904 when academic home for Eileen Gambrill President Benjamin Ide Wheeler (2019, see Burnette, 2016), a member of appointed Dr. Jessica Blanche Peixotto as the Berkeley faculty for over four a lecturer in sociology.

  • Share the World 2 Joseph Antaree
    Share The World 2 Joseph Antaree Share The World A Communal Life By Joseph Antaree What follows is an account of my life (so far) in the One World Family Commune. My story relates to the commune in terms of what we are about, the ideas of this social experience, and how it all relates to contact with Galactica, our eternal civilization, and the flowering of the human spirit. In 1967, 20 years after his cosmic initiation, Allen Michael was led to San Francisco, where he started the One World Family Commune by opening a macrobiotic vegetarian restaurant, the Here and Now, and renting a large house in the Haight-Ashbury district. The God Mind operating in him was leading him to develop a pilot model demonstration of spiritual communal living, which would continue for over 40 years right into the present. Joseph Antaree At the point where I joined the commune, it had been happening for eight years, moving from SF to Marin county, and then to Berkeley. In each location our restaurants were the principal public service we engaged in, opening the first vegetarian restaurants in San Francisco, Mill Valley and Berkeley. We were pioneering a whole new way of life, spiritual revolutionaries to the core. Dedicated to building a truly righteous world of absolute freedom, security and abundance for all. Sharing the world is the key to it all. This is still true today after all of the non-stop changes we’ve gone through in the cause of creating a new world, one that serves all people.
